I actually only had the 3530lsv but I got the 1541t and 3541ls recently. I'm planning on selling the 3530lsv and keeping the other two.

Nice family, but you're missing the 5541LS. It's the Daddy. :D

Aha, interesting photo, especially for me to see the difference between the 3530 and 3541 (which I have). The 3530 is pretty much larger to carry around and I'm not sure it would be worth it. The 3541LS holds almost anything and should be enough for most people, if you don't have a 800mm or so ;)

Yeah, the 5541ls would be nice but I don't have any lenses big enough for it.

Yeah, I totally agree with you so that's why I bought the 3541ls to replace my 3530lsv. I'll post more pictures of the legs fully open and fully closed so that people can get a better idea of the differences in size.

Nice family shot!!!

we just got our 3531S legs at Christmas. The wife loves that we dropped 1/3 the weight and have an even more steady support stack.

I could see buying a 55xx tripod if you are over 6 feet tall and shoot heavy artilery type glass. ;) The 3531S is just right for the wife and I. Our big glass is 100-400. :D

My (little) Gitzo family consists of a 3530 Systematic (for my 600mm) a 2531 (for general use) and a 3320BS for low level. I cannot fault them and their load bearing capabilities are way beyond their specification. I have read that the GT2531 will support 77Kilo rather than it's quoted 12Kilo, never tried it! However I can state (with confidence) that the 3320BS will happily support me - 105Kilo!
Excellent kit - pity about the prices!


Life is for living, cameras are to capture it (one day I will learn how!).

My two hobbies that my wife hate due to being so expensive is photography and home theater.

Hey, I like my polks. =) I got them at a steal and they are higher end RTI series. Now my subwoofer is a different story, no polk there. Here is my sub...:D

You know i was joking. Who makes the sub?

I did away with my subs a while back when I bought Definitive Technology towers with built in powered subs. They are killer. I think the 2x4's are coming loose in my house.

In fact, my wife is out. Maybe I'll go blast it. :lol:

Nice family shot!

I have a 3531 now and I'd like to get something smaller for some things. I think with two, you should be set for just about anything.

I wasn't sure if you were joking or not. :) My sub is from av123. Your definitive tech towers sound pretty good. With the built in sub, is the low end better than a dedicated one? I'm surprised as most people prefer separate speakers.

Yeah, that was my thinking too. The 1541T for smaller everyday/hiking and the 3 series for everything else.
